It is getting very intense and I'm honestly scared for the characters. Next episode is probably gonna be insane and I'm very excited. I gotta say though there are a few random subplots that are kinda dumb and some unbelievable things but still really good.

The latest episode of Defending Jacob brings more revelations to the plot as Matt comes forward with the truth regarding Leonard. While the drama remains quite slow, it has added another mystery with a strange stalker following the family. Episode 6 of Defending Jacob starts 10 days before the trial as Andy and Joanna arrive in the court house. Once there, they come face to face with Neal who manages to rile Andy up by mentioning his father. Andy pushes him against the wall but is quickly stopped. Joanna and Andy then spend five hours looking through it but unfortunately find nothing concrete. As they are both about to leave, Duffy speaks to Andy about his father and tells him not hesitate if he needs helps. As they leave, Joanna tells Andy that she has found out from her niece that Jacob has been online. This prompts him to confront his son back home about it. Jacob defends himself, saying it was just a joke but Andy is having none of it, angrily telling him that this new profile he made could damage his defence in court. In prison, Andy's father and the prisoners see on the news that Jacob is accused of murder and is the grandson of a convicted murderer. Later that night, Andy notices a strange blue car parked outside then gets a call from Matt who wants to meet as he has something to say about Leonard Patz. In the court house, Matt relays what has been happening with Leonard and how he used to pay Matt to let him touch his trousers. Eventually he stopped paying which is when Matt reported him. Leonard had his eyes on another boy called Ben and Matt also reveals that he was carrying a knife around. Neal wants to know why he waited to come forward, to which he replies that he heard about Jacob and didn't want him to go down for what he believed Leonard did. Andy relays to his wife and Jacob what happened as this could change things for them. He later gets a call from his father who tells him he saw the news and wanted to talk to him. Andy refuses though as he doesn't even consider him as his father. The next morning while out running, Laurie notices that same blue car Andy mentioned is following her. She starts panicking and runs home to Andy and Duffy deep in conversation. They reveal that the police didn't find a knife in Patz's house but they'r not ruling him out yet. Laurie is still anxious though and tells her husband that the blue Lincoln was following her. Before leaving, Duffy tells Andy she is not sure Matt is telling the truth. Andy insists though, asking her not to give up. After having dinner in a restaurant, the family drive back home. Laurie notices the same blue car so Andy decides to confront the driver. As he reaches the car, Andy tells him to stay away from them and the street. The strange man tells him it's good to have a family and as the episode ends, we cut forward to the day of the trial as Jacob and his parents get ready to drive toward the court house. One of the most interesting plot points of this episode is Doctor Vogel's test results as she talks about the different genes. In a show which lacks originality, this brings some needed substance and stop it from becoming too stale.
Another episode of drab twaddle

Warning: Spoilers
Episode 6,now that's the most exciting thing I can write about this episode.
6 episodes of the same boring dullness & this is just one the many problems with this show, let me explain, one family has the horror of the loss of a family member, one family has the horror of a family member being lost, yet every scene with every cast character in every situation are show as dire & maudliin, there is no contrast with scenes, when we see the characters of these 2 family's it's understandable to have their scenes being dark & sad yet scenes with characters that aren't connected to these family's are also equally dark & sad, it makes no sense to not show contrasts between scenes, the entire length of each episode is gloomy & dull, even the attempt to add excitement in this episode by showing "Laurie" jogging was pathetic.
As with each episode one or two tidbits of information are dropped into the story between dull & pointless interactions & now 6 episodes in a new character emerges In the guise of a "Dave Bautista" lookalike,seriously?
Whether this is set in 2012 when the novel was released or set in the here & now, smart phones exist & are used in this show yet the writer/writers would have the viewer believe that a man smart enough & intelligent enough to pass the legal Barr to become an attorney & then become a District attorney not only would lose his temper at any given situation but would also not have the simplest of sense to have his mobile phone at the ready to take a photo of someone sat in a car linguring near his home, yet he's stupid enough to assault the resident District attorney & then to brandish a tyre iron at a complete stranger, all this after he's been reminded several times he's the son of a convicted murderer.
This is poor writing by any idiots standards & a complete lack of understanding human interaction.
All unbelievable drivel to add momentum to a dull story, 6 unnecessary episodes, no twists no turns no red herrings no hints at possible suspects, literally zero attempts to make this show entertaining by adding any depth to any other characters, not even an attempt at a single "red herring" clue of any character to keep the viewer guessing as to who the killer could be, Why? Because even the creators & writers couldn't give a flying fart about the story all they care about is each actor giving their best tense dramatic performance so critics can laud the show for being "tense" & "dramatic". Looks good on the CV, who cares about story & plot.
Quite literally any show these days can look polished & expensive given the budgets afforded them, but no matter how much is spent on the polish or how much polishing is done a turd is still a turd & anyone blinded by that polish & rating this garbage anything above a 4 or 5 clearly needs to widen their viewing to include something other than this twaddle.
